Denim is versatile. It makes trousers that fit perfectly on any figure, fashionable jackets, summer sundresses. These things are almost impossible to bear. If the fabric has lost color, it can be dyed, and if it has become leaky, a decorative patch will cover the hole. And jeans holes themselves have long been in fashion.
What to do with the old thing?
But very often jeans are rubbed along the inner seam. In such a place, the patch does not look very aesthetically pleasing, and wearing a similar thing with additional seams becomes uncomfortable. In this situation, it comes to mind that old jeans will have to be thrown away, but if you have imagination, you can redo them. Scissors, threads, sewing machine, 2 hours of time, and in the end we get a stylish denim skirt.
Model Benefits
Denim skirt is a universal thing. In it you can appear at lectures, go shopping or nature. The same knee-length model will suit romantic natures. Contrast inserts perfectly refresh the item, and the hem, thanks to them, interestingly extends downward.
Preliminary preparation
Jeans must be washed beforehand. Choose fabric for inserts. A koton with a pattern is perfect. The color of the fabric or pattern should be close to blue or blue. You can also use denim, for example, from cropped legs. But in this case, the lower edge during hemming may turn out to be too rough and will puff.
Alteration Instructions
1. Unzip the inner step seam. Carefully remove all the strings and iron the fabric. We rub the frayed areas, trying to ensure that the cut lines duplicate the original edge of the part.
2. We measure the desired length of the skirt and draw on the legs of the cut line. To do this, you can use a small or small piece of soap. Light stripes are clearly visible on dark fabric, and after washing, such lines disappear without return.
3. Trim the legs. We remove the excess.
4. Now you need to outline where the side inserts will be located. To do this, measure the middle of each front half and draw a line to the top of the product. We do the same with the details of the back.
5. We make cuts along the drawn lines.
6. The next step is the manufacture of wedges. To do this, we expand the cuts to the required width, put paper under the fabric (or immediately fabric for wedges), draw contours with a simple pencil, make an addition of 1 cm to the seams. Cut 6 wedges.
7. We apply wedges to the denim fabric “face to face”, pin with invisibility and attach.
8. We process all seams and the bottom of the product.
The skirt from the old jeans is ready!
Remaking an old thing is quite an interesting activity. Here you can show your imagination, feel like a real designer and at the same time get a great thing.
